>>318383364It also completely wrecked Psycho Mantis' arc, turned EVA into the walking embodiment of everything bad about Kojima's writing style, and made Johnny even more insufferable. There's a lot to like in MGS4 and an equal amount that is complete garbage.

>>318381983Yes, yes it does.It's a fucking isometric 2D game. 2D games don't age. Install a mod to run it in high resolution or something.The combat is turn-based too, which doesn't age either.But most importantly it's just a better RPG, instead of a gutted FPS/"RPG" Bethesda games are.

When exatly do I get good at Fallout 2?What the fuck is up with those random encounters that have 5+ bandits/highwaymen/whatever, all equipped with guns that can kill you in a single round?Are you supposed to do them only at high levels or something despite them showing up as soon as the Den areas?
